The original Broadway production, opening in 1982, was the second production of Cats, and re-worked and developed the experimental concepts of the original London production the year before. The original Broadway production became the model for many further productions throughout the 1980s and 90s. However the 2016 Broadway revival is not descended stylistically from the original Broadway show, but from the UK tradition.
The Broadway production was heavily advertised initially, including an extensive series of photos held in the New York Public Library, however later years saw many photos re-used from earlier shoots and the published programme remained featuring the original cast until the show closed in 2000.
Due to the large amount of material of this record-breaking production, this gallery is split into multiple smaller galleries.
